Hemp has been cultivated by humans since the ancient times. It is an extremely useful plant because it can be grown sustainably, and be used for textiles, food, paper, and cordage. If you would like to learn more about how hemp is grown, check this out! Hemp is a non-psychoactive variety of the Cannabis sativa plant. It contains only less than 1 percent THC, so it will not get anyone “high”, nor will it cause you to register a false-positive result in a drug test.

However, if you love the taste of hemp seeds, or of hemp milk (which is made from hemp seeds), then you will certainly be gratified by both its nutritional value and versatility. Although hemp seeds are high in protein (a 30 gram serving contains 11 grams of protein), this is not a complete protein because the amino acid profile is low in lysine and leucine. Hemp seeds are a very good source of magnesium and a good source of zinc. Omega 3 and omega 6 essential fatty acids are naturally found in hemp seeds.

Hemp Seed Oil

Hemp seed oil is a wonderful alternative to the more conventional oils found in grocery stores. You can use hemp seed oil for salad dressings, pasta, couscous, tabouli, pesto and other sauces.

Hemp Milk

Hemp milk is made by first soaking the hemp seeds, and then pulverizing them in water. You can make hemp milk yourself at home. You would use hemp milk as you would any other milk.

Hemp Seeds in Recipes

There are so many things you can do with hemp seeds. Sure, you can eat them by the handful right out of the package, but it is a lot more fun to incorporate these healthy little seeds into different recipes. For example, you can add a generous amount of hemp seeds to your usual salad. Or, you can put them in your favourite cereal or granola. Do you love baking muffins? Try adding some hemp seeds to the muffin batter next time to add a boost of flavour and nutrition. If you make your own pesto, you can add hemp seeds to your pesto for an interesting touch. If you have issues with gluten, you can use crushed hemp seeds in place of breadcrumbs when you need to bread something. For added creaminess to sauces and dressings, try adding in hemp seeds and then blending.

There are so many ways in which you can utilize the power of hemp seeds!

Dude, bro. Like so good man. I've been twice and both times very happy with the food. I am not a vegetarian or vegan but honestly that does not matter one bit. The food is amazing. Legit everything I tried was great. Can't wait to go again. You can also just run in and fill a box, weight n pay, and kick rocks. Hmm think I know what I'm doing for lunch.

Affordably priced and healthy vegan food, centrally located in the downtown core. While the setting is lacking ambiance, there is also a beautiful courtyard where you can sit outside on the nicer days. They have an amazing selection of "healthy" desserts, and they list their ingredients for every food item, making it easy for those with any sensitivities to know what they can or cannot have.

Their best secret though is their amazingly priced juice, smoothie, and "milk"shake menu. Most other places in town charge upwards of $8-9 for a fresh pressed juice, but they are much more affordable here, and of the same quality of other places.

Reasonably priced and delicious vegan food what more could you want?
When I first started visiting the cafeteria style buffet took some getting used too but I do like the food by weight concept being I can spend less if I’m not necessarily super hungry.
The coffee is also a perk because it’s good and dairy free.
My only gripe would be the location of the dirty tray and dishes bin it’s kinda hidden off to the side and the first couple times I had no idea where to put my plates after I was finished.

My favourite restaurant of all time, I go there every chance I get when I am in the city. The food is really delicious and there is so much variety. Everything looks and smells so good that I often fill up my plate with as much as I can. You don't even need to be vegan to appreciate it. The first time I visited I was with a friend who was craving bacon and complaining about veganism, once inside she was was going on about how great the food was.
Also a great place to meet cool people. I once met the federal leader of the Communist Party there.
